Probably time for a Kyle Rittenhouse thread.

Yes I like Axios. My point is that sometimes mistakes are made, mainly by individual journalists or editors, but that doesnt mean it completely undermines long-standing high quality journalistic sources.

My personal belief is all news should be not-for-profit and should be publicly funded with appropriate barriers and oversight to silo it from political influence, similar to BBC and PBS Newshour (although we have seen republicans rail against PBS).

The main problem with US news sources is that they are all for the most part "for-profit", which means they need to cover stories and issues which get the most attention. You have commentary and opinion which masquerades as news but is really meant to cater to people's pre-existing opinions and beliefs which does a better job of pulling people in/repeat viewership. At the end of the day, viewership is tied to ad revenue which is the driver of what gets covered and how. Peoples pre-existing opinions are catered to as opposed to informed.

That goes for Fox/OAN as well as CNN and MSNBC, as well as many traditional news sources.

By and large, your best source for unbiased news is PBS Newshour, NPR and BBC (although conservatives like to say its biased, its not, the facts just don't reinforce their message).

agreed

they (arsonists) matter in so much as they should be RESPONSIBLY and RESPECTFULLY cared for once they are under state guardianship and no longer a threat to society (i am willing to make the necessary collective sacrifices for this to happen) not sure about personally, without the state and collective force of the nation, bullet to the back of the head probably. I don't think I could keep an arsonist alive without undue suffering. Or cruel and unusual torture from neglect. On my own.

imho

They may be low IQ, but not low enough to be made wards of the state

What they'll need to do is huff some paint, or smoke some weed out of plastic containers (melted plastic fumes can do organic damage to the brain). That'll do it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

i wouldn't be "Angry" at the state for taking my freedoms away because I am just smart enough to know how much damage I can do, especially when I was military fit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't think that should happen to everyone though. Just because of how hard it is for me to be kewl.

I want to give starkind the credit for pointing out for me the first time that King Solomon cutting a baby in half, is the first argument made for abortion if the parents are incapable of taking care of the child lol

[starkind]

i love u jibartik, I would rather king solomon give the baby a chance at a good life in the armed services tho [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

good point however.

But he probably did not intend to cut the baby in half, otherwise he would have.

[Jibartik]

Im anti abortion because if I wasn't I would be pro eugenics.

OK but what about euthanasia?

All arguments happening in the periphery to make "mercy killing" legal are obvious steps to make "mercy suicide" a cultural insistance AKA "Well it would be really selfish of your to keep living so u should definitely do the right suicide thing"

Of course that really only applies to poor people.
